Applicability of 2NN-MEAM potentials in the prediction of temperature and oxygen-dependent elastic properties of titanium

A second nearest neighbour (2NN) modified embedded atom method (MEAM) potential was recently derived by Joost et al. (2015) for Ti–O. Transferability of the potential was demonstrated by those authors through zero temperature molecular statics modelling of various phases of Ti–O not included in the original set of fitting parameters. In the study presented here, the Ti–O potential is tested over a temperature range from 300K to 700K by …
